Prices for the purchase of pigs slaughter conditions in the first week of the year has not changed, according to weekly monitoring results of the analytical department of the Association of Ukranian Pig Breeders.

During the last auction in 2022 the majority of operators did not revise procurement prices for pork, and the change in price, which was sometimes fixed, did not exceed 1 hryvnia / kg. The main commodity volumes, which were somewhat lower after the pre-New Year's revival on the part of procurers, were priced at 69.5-71 UAH/kg. Though the price was occasionally lower than that minimum, the average weighted mark was still on the level of 70,3 hryvnas per kg.

Representatives of meat processing industry noted that against the background of stabilization of purchase prices prices for chilled pork half-carcasses, the prices have not corrected as well. Most of them say that the trade between holidays is predictable and relatively stable. According to the cullers, the further price dynamics will be more noticeably influenced by the state of the energy system and the expected seasonal change in consumer activity. Currently, pork producers do not observe the tension in negotiations with buyers, the live stock sales are carried out as planned (no refusals or postponements of pre-booked batches), so there are no transient balances, and the available supply is slightly inferior to standard.
